Bone cement usage modalities at a multi-site university hospital centre

Abstract

No detailed information is available on how cements are used in French hospitals. The objectives of this questionnaire survey among surgeons working at a multi-site university hospital in France were to describe practices, determine whether these varied with surgeon experience, and look for differences compared to recommendations
